- recovery 4.8. 10:44/130.

- 9.3. 4x spillway to trail head hill. 10:42/140. When I did this a month ago it was 10:25/139. and I ran 9.4 the next day.
- easy nbhrd 5. 10:44/131.
Total. 32.8
Really fallen off the wagon. Weight was 185 yesterday and 183.6 so gain a couple of pounds (was in the 181 to 182 range).
The faster easier paces the week of 20 Nov were too fast I guess and just 5 miles at MP took way more out of me than the EIM intervals.
Need to work myself back to where I was. You are where you are. Planning to alternate *recovery* 5 with EIM sessions. Get back to my typical 5.5@10:30/132 recovery runs or even slower. Should probably slow the EIM intervals, too.
